Edit - Hail, just wondering what you mean by engines "only to be kept alive with Frankensteins add-ons"?

Hi sambo, sorry about the late late reply but in the early days of fuel injection and pollution control around 80`s to 90`s is the time I refer to Frankenstein period as the pollution control and fuel injection were put on to meet emission standards but they didn't work as it was a add-on to the old engines without real thought as it was new technology, and not all the faults were from manufacturers as the home racers tinkered with anything shinny and new,
"I like the set and forget" leaves time for other things, anyways thx for your thoughts and comments

I just remembered watching a you-tube interview Jay leno had with Ford CEO Alan Mulally [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4aatqMxFnE]Ford CEO Alan Mulally - Interview - Jay Leno's Garage - YouTube[/ame]
the tech that he was talking about is very interesting as I heard that Telstra want to do something similar to wi-fi Telstra rejects 'offloading' accusation over Wi-Fi hotspot plan wow moving forward and to think outside the box.

regards,
